5.2. ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
DANGER
Contact with live parts.
Effects of electrical power on humans.
Compliance with the statutory regulations for installation, operation, service and inspection of electrical operating
material.
Only allow skilled electricians to carry out work.
Skilled personnel must service damaged installations immediately!
Use of suitable plugs, couplings
Recurring inspections
Ensure that the device is completely turned off and secured against restarting before opening the electrical device
casing!
The service personnel must be acquainted with specialist standards and regulations.
DANGER
INJURIES DUE TO UNEXPECTED CHANGE IN OPERATING STATES.
Check the loosened screw connection for a secure fit before starting up
Loosening screw connections: When opening screw connections, slowly open these to reduce pressure in the line.
Opening drain points with screw connections: Only remove threaded joints of drain points if system is
depressurized!
The pressure must have fully dissipated before opening pipe connections and pressurized systems.
5.3. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The following measures increase the operational safety and lifetime of your device:
Regularly lubricate all pivot points and lubricating nipples after pressure cleaning.
Check the hydraulic oil fill level from time to time and replenish, if necessary. Oil change 1 year after start-up. Further
oil changes every 2 years (also empty the cylinder).
Original filling: Hydraulic oil HLP10, amount: 14 liters.
Check screw connections (in particular also at the hydraulic system) and tighten again after every fifth start-up and
as necessary.
Lubricate thread of the foot holder locking screwing.
Oil rotating points of the foot holder.
Repair or replace damaged parts immediately. Work with damaged parts can entail a risk for you and the animal.
Even if stored properly and subject to permissible loads, hoses and hose lines will undergo a natural aging. Their
service life is consequently limited. The service life of a hose line including a potential storage time for the hose line
should not exceed six years. The storage time should not exceed two years for this. According to DIN 20 066.
We recommend treating the working area including the foot holder guides with a biologically degradable form oil as
this offers good corrosion protection and keeps all moving parts moving smoothly
NOTE
6. SPARE PARTS
NOTE
Original parts are to be used to replace a component of the machine. Spare and wear parts for original components
and accessories which are not supplied by the manufacturer of the machine are not tested and approved by the
manufacturer.
The fitting and/or usage of such products may change the given constructive characteristics of the machine and
endanger its' safety.
The manufacturer accepts no liability whatsoever and the right to warranty will expire for damages or consequential
damages caused by the use of non-original parts and accessories or the inappropriate fitting or replacement of original
parts and accessories.
Once the warranty terms have elapsed, we recommend the usage of original parts to ensure continuous performance
of the machine. For warranty claims please contact your local sales and service partner.
